I was really happy with how I paced this workout, maybe got a little too slow on a few sets of burpees so I think if I redo it, I will just try to speed those sets up but other than that, I think I gave it all I had!  Did much better than expected

did the workout at about 4, and had not eaten anything since breakfast early that morning.  got a little lightheaded and dizzy

Training
14.4 attempt #2

Results
do not know ha. I didn't even make it through the cleans... started to feel extremely lightheaded on the wall balls, felt dizzy like the room was spinning.  Not a big deal, just felt a little woozy after the workout but people gave me gatorade and a bar and then I felt better!  Big mistake, just struggling with lack of appetite!

Daily score: 2
felt emotionally and physically drained

Training
14.4 attempt #1

Results
welll the row felt good, I think I kept a pretty good pace. toes to bar were a struggle.  wall balls were really slow and bad... kept getting emotional/choked up which would cause my chest to hurt and not able to breathe. by the time I got to the cleans, I was feeling really down and discouraged. and then I only got 2 muscle ups, probably had time for a 3rd but I gave up.

basically I need to come in Monday with a clear and refreshed mind and I think I can certainly do better.  My goal for Monday is to get at least 5 muscle ups!  I think if I just keep a steadier pace through the toes to bar and wall balls, I can get it. I hope!

got a ton of sleep last night and had a good breakfast!

Training
14.3 attempt #2

Results
THE EXACT SAME THING... ha 139 reps.  ALMOST had 140 but I didn't quite stand up when the time cut off. Watching the video, there are several times where I'm yelling at myself for not picking the dang bar up instead of just looking at it haha!  So yeah I've gotta work on that.  Still very happy with my score considering dead lifts aren't my best lift! Ready for 14.4.

p.s. DREW YOU KILLED IT!!! So so excited for you! awesome job!!!

these felt pretty tough, but my goal was to stay below 2:00 so I was happy about that

rolled out my hamstrings/glutes & back a lot, and they don't feel sore anymore today! last attempt tomorrow- my goal is to get at least 5 more reps than on Friday

I hope I get a few more reps on Monday, but it's gonna be reeeeal close I think.  I'm really happy with how I paced it, and I think I gave it all I had to get these reps in.  But even just a couple more reps will be good!

all the thrusters UB, those weren't too bad. it was the row that started to drastically slow down by the end. the first few I kept my pace at around 1:53-1:55 and by the last one I was above 2:00 almost the whole time

don't know if I fully open my hips at the top. after the first round, I really tried to focus on that but somehow kept getting faster so I'm thinking maybe I was still not doing it right haha

14:50
woo-weee this felt really hard for some reason. even the deadlift felt heavy by the end. that dang s2o felt bad too. my double unders were decent at best.  the only thing that really felt fine were the toes to bar! I'm just worn out!

YAY! So excited to get into the 16's.  Much better on this second attempt than I was expecting!  paced it much better this time, breaking the pull ups up into smaller sets from the beginning, like 5's and 4's and eventually 3's and 2's ha! felt so much better than on Friday, excited for 14.3

have felt pretty good this whole week! I've been busy with family stuff going on, so I just dropped in at cfs at home for a quick metcon on Wednesday and took Thursday as a complete rest day

Training

Results

so so hard!
on the second set of 14 ohs, I failed the snatch just as a result of trying to pick it up too fast, and then on my 5th rep I lost my balance and I dropped it behind me.  that added on quite a bit of time and lost a lot of energy snatching it up 2 extra times!  got back to the pull up bar and got 5 in a row but then I realized I only had like 10 seconds left so basically gave up and did a couple singles.  I think/HOPE I can do better Monday!  determined to make it to those 16's!!!

these were hard and not fun! tried my hardest to keep it below 2 minutes on all 5, but kept running out of steam

practiced double unders a lot, trying to change my whole technique so I can actually do them right but I'm realizing that is going to be a much longer process than just this weekend! So I'm gonna just do what I can on Monday, and wear pants that fit, and go at a time where there are no distractions and just see what happens... this is a big wake up call though that my double under issue is a reallll set back that I have gotta do something about. maybe this is a good thing, so I'll actually start to take these things seriously so this will NOT happen next year!
